pooleluea
Pooleluea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Hawaiian Islands. The genus was named in honor of the American botanist Asa Gray, who was a close friend of the Hawaiian botanist Asahel H. Poole. Pooleluea is characterized by its small, white or pink flowers that are arranged in clusters, and its leaves that are often hairy and have serrated margins. The genus includes about 10 species, which are typically found in moist, shaded areas such as forests and stream banks. Pooleluea plants are often used in landscaping and gardening due to their attractive flowers and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions. However, some species are threatened by habitat loss and other environmental factors, and conservation efforts are underway to protect these plants.
